I've tried and failed three times to get Gitlab to send me a sign-up email. I can't get it to work. I can't figure out how to disable the confirmation emails either. I'd be using a self-hosted Gitlab to try to fix the speed issues but because of this issue, I cannot. So, instead, I'm a refugee on your public service until I convince my coauthor to eat another repository migration to a private Gogs instance. I got gogs working in 5 minutes like OP said. Also Gogs is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> faster. It baffles me that I can be pushing an initial commit to an empty repository and my terminal will hang for 10-15 seconds. What's going on with that?

If you're self-hosting, I would use mailgun with the below config in your /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb https://gist.github.com/ar0ch/b33a9232776504bd83ac https://gist.github.com/ar0ch/b33a9232776504bd83ac

Thanks for the feedback. Aroch posted a good Mailgun config in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11374883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11374883 but your post gave me the idea to disable confirmation emails by default https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14684 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14684 I'm not sure what is up with the initial commit issue you describe and made an issue to investigate https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14685 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14685 Thanks again!
